hi all.

i know this has been posted before but i couldnt find the info that i need. My lighter is broken and i dont know the cause of the problem. First point of call was the fuse box where i realised that there was no fuse in the lighter spot (?!?!?) but there was a spare fuse so that was all good. I checked the spare fuse with a multimeter and it seems fine. This didnt fix the problem and after trying with the new fuse i checked it again to make sure it wasnt blown, it was fine.

so basically it seems like its not a fuse problem but i dont know where to go from here. Any help would be great.

Make sure you are using a genuine "jap spec" ciggarette plug like the genuine one. I noticed that I purchased a replacement one from autobahn and it keept blowin the fuse, when you push it in. However navman charger and phone charger had no effect. In the end it was just in there for looks. lol Other than that rip the glove panel off and inspect the plug connected to the pins in the lighter holster and check all wires at the rear arent worn through.

take off the dash, check all the wires are connected properly, test for a current running through them. this way you can narrow it down from no power going to the wires, or a problem between the connection of the wires and the lighter holder itself.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
